This is the second brood for this pair of Carolina Wrens (Thryothorus ludovicianus). As is normally the case, they’ve gone to a second location, abandoning their previous successful spot, which was in the antique graniteware coffee pot hanging from the porch ceiling. Now they’re on the back porch in a basket that is also hanging from the ceiling.
Breeding pairs of Carolina Wrens are monogamous, likely staying together for years. Depending on how far south the breeding pair is, they will have two to three broods per breeding season. The further south, the more probable it is they will have three broods.
I know the Carolina Wrens as entertaining, noisy little creatures. It’s the male that does the singing while both of them will do the chattering and scolding that I enjoy so much.
